Snipperclips is set for release on March 3rd. At least, in Japan. Other regions haven't been confirmed yet, but that would do a lot to make the Switch's launch a lot more exciting. Will update the OP if any other regions' release date is announced.

Also, the official Japanese site is adorable.

Really want US for this too, suppose we'll see. Won't be long in any case.

RedToad64 · Feb 24, 2017

Anyone should be able to download it, regardless of region, right?

yep just have one of the accounts you make Japanese region so you can access the store

You could, though I don't know if there's any limitations that haven't been announced. I would imagine you just make a Japanese account and you're good to go.

Doesn't seem like a game that needs that much translation, so if it's not launch in NA I'd expect it like a week later at most.

Hedgey · Feb 24, 2017

It was developed in English, so I'd be surprised if came out in Japan first =/

GiantBreadbug · Feb 24, 2017

Hell YESSSSSSS

Will be getting this on launch day. Amazing news.

Brings my launch day haul to Zelda, all the Tomorrow Corp games, SnipperClips, and Shovel Knight (Treasure Trove since I've never played any of it). Thoroughly excited.

Is this digital only?

I believe the game is made by French developers, so if they game is already to go in Japanese, I'd assume it's ready to go in English.

Anyone speak/read Japanese who can fish more details from the website?

Unison · Feb 24, 2017

Comparatively, Zelda isn't a big deal in Japan, so I understand why they'd want more launch titles there.

DecoReturns · Feb 24, 2017

That face expression in the blowling ball gif makes me laugh.

Cuburt · Feb 24, 2017

Definitely hope it comes out in the West for launch. It looks like a ton of fun.

Yes.

CharminUltra · Feb 24, 2017

US same day plx

Haines · Feb 24, 2017

Usa same day would certainly help launch a lot.

serenewarfare · Feb 24, 2017

If it is launch, this rounds out the lineup decently. Shovel Knight, Bomberman, Fast RMX, Zelda, and this together is not too bad of a lineup.

AdanVC · Feb 24, 2017

oh my yes please make it available anywhere else too! One of my most hyped games right now.

GiantBreadbug · Feb 24, 2017

OricWindstar said:
Yes.

Huh, well looks like I'm starting my Japanese account now then. Knew I'd have to do it sooner or later.

Really wish they'd let all regions' accounts access all regions' stores though.

Then again if it hits US the same day then I can just get it on my main account.

Vampirolol · Feb 24, 2017

I will get this asap to play with my girlfriend.

BooJoh · Feb 24, 2017

I can't read Japanese but I think this is saying that for single player you can just hit X to swap between characters?

I want this game but I can only play solo.

Raab · Feb 24, 2017

After LoZ, this is was my #2 purchase...hope it comes to NA asap.

I don't know of a digital service that allows that so simply. Sony, MS, and hell even Amazon require you to make new accounts and Steam requires VPN stuff.

I think it's regulatory issues.

Ah I see. It makes sense, but it's also kinda poopy to have to manage multiple accounts. But it's worth it to have access to multiple regions, so it's fine.

Either way I'm playing with with my friend at launch and I'm hype af. I can also just control both characters with each hand if I wanna play solo haha (though that seems pretty tough to coordinate).

WarioFan63 · Feb 24, 2017

They've been saying March release for the West for awhile now so if its not launch it shouldnt be too much of a wait.

SinCityAssassin · Feb 24, 2017

Guess the latest we'll hear about Snipperclips in the US will be the Nindie presentation.

Very cool! I had no idea they'd have themed areas. Will add to the OP.

It kind of is. It appears to have been originally developed by a two-man team of brothers, although to what extent Nintendo may have assisted we don't know yet until the credits. (likely art assistance?)

It's an effort very representative of THE NINDIE SPIRIT. better to start off with that and go through the list.

Hero of Legend · Feb 24, 2017

And this is while Clippers' trending.

Muzy72 · Feb 24, 2017

NOA is probably waiting till their Nindie Showcase to announce Snipperclips release date, its probably March 3rd here too.

Damn you stole my answer lol.

This is exactly what will happen. On February 28's Nindie presentation Snipperclips will be announced as a launch title.

marc^o^ · Feb 24, 2017

Japan has Tetris and Snipperclips at launch. I'm jealous.

Strange that they are waiting on that, but announced Fast RMX and Shovel Knight today.

It's because

A) it's a completely new game unlike those 2
B) it's got a lot of good buzz around it
C) they want a nice surprise for the presentation

Hero of Legend · Feb 24, 2017

I'd like to see a small print run or something, you know like an... early adopter... kind of thing.... kinda?

I dunno. I know it's digital-only, but it would be cool to see, I mean we have a box art anyway!

greelay · Feb 24, 2017

Really excited for this game, hope this is US too.

That's a good point. If Nintendo is willing to pick up that game they could publish others indie titles as well. I don't remember how much they've done this in the past, but it's a good way to drum up more good will and support in the future.

I believe they published Shovel Knight in Japan.

Makes me wonder if they'll be any other surprises during the Nindies direct.
